This ICR
is for a three-year extension to the OMB
PRA approval for the Workforce
Investment Act Management
Information and Reporting System with
modifications to make Workforce
Investment Act (WIA) performance
reporting completely compatible with
workforce investment streamlined
performance reporting. This WIA
reporting structure includes quarterly
(ETA 9090) and annual (ETA 9091)
reports, as well as a standardized
individual record file for program
participants, called the Workforce
Investment Act Standardized Record
Data (WIASRD). States submit WIASRD
to the ETA and include participant level
information on customer demographics,
type of services received, and statutorily
defined measures of outcomes. This ICR
also covers customer satisfaction
surveys related to the program.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is

generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1205–0420. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
December 31, 2012; however, it should
be noted that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.

related notice published in the Federal
Register on September 26, 2012 (77 FR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act) allows the mine operator or
representative of miners to file a
petition to modify the application of any
mandatory safety standard to a coal or
other mine if the Secretary of Labor
determines that:
(1) An alternative method of
achieving the result of such standard
exists which will at all times guarantee
no less than the same measure of
protection afforded the miners of such
mine by such standard; or
(2) That the application of such
standard to such mine will result in a
diminution of safety to the miners in
such mine.
In addition, the regulations at 30 CFR
44.10 and 44.11 establish the
requirements and procedures for filing
petitions for modification.
II. Petitions for Modification
Docket No: M–2012–163–C.
Petitioner: Tennco Energy, Inc., P.O.
Box 517, Middlesboro, Kentucky 40965.
Mine: Hance Mine No. 1, MSHA I.D.
No. 15–19408, located in Bell County,
Kentucky.
Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.208
(Warning devices).
Modification Request: The petitioner
requests a modification of the existing
standard to permit a readily visible
warning to be posted at the second row
of permanent roof support outby
unsupported roof or a physical barrier to
be installed to impede travel beyond
permanent support, except during the
installation of roof supports. The
petitioner states that:
(1) The Kentucky Office of Mine
Safety and Licensing requires ‘‘a
warning device’’ to be placed installed
on the second row of permanent roof
support outby unsupported roof.
(2) MSHA’s approved Precautions for
Remote Control Operation of
Continuous Mining Machines states that
‘‘while using remote controls, the
continuous mining machine operator
and all other persons will position
themselves no closer than the second
‘‘full row’’ of installed roof bolts outby
the face.
(3) This petition is necessary to
improve safety and to attain
commonality between State and Federal
regulations.

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

(4) Safety increases when the distance
an employee keeps from unsupported
roof increases.
The petitioner asserts that the
proposed alternative method will at all
times guarantee no less than the same
measure of protection afforded by the
existing standard.
Docket No: M–2012–164–C.
Petitioner: Gateway Eagle Coal
Company, LLC, Three Gateway Center,
Suite 1340, 401 Liberty Avenue,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222–1000.
Mine: Campbells Creek No. 10 Mine,
MSHA I.D. No. 46–08637, located in
Boone County, West Virginia.
Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.500(d)
(Permissible electric equipment).
Modification Request: The petitioner
requests a modification of the existing
standard to permit an alternative
method of compliance to permit the use
of battery-powered nonpermissible
surveying equipment in or inby the last
open crosscut, including, but not
limited to, portable battery-operated
mine transits, total station surveying
equipment, distance meters, and data
loggers. The petitioner states that:
(1) To comply with requirements for
mine ventilation maps and mine maps
in 30 CFR 75.372 and 75.1200, use of
the most practical and accurate
surveying equipment is necessary.
(2) Application of the existing
standard would result in a diminution
of safety to the miners. Underground
mining by its nature and size, and the
complexity of mine plans, requires that
accurate and precise measurements be
completed in a prompt and efficient
manner. The petitioner proposes the
following as an alternative to the
existing standard:
(a) Nonpermissible electronic
surveying equipment will be used when
equivalent permissible electronic
surveying equipment is not available.
Such nonpermissible surveying
equipment includes portable batteryoperated total station surveying
equipment, mine transits, distance
meters, and data loggers.
(b) All nonpermissible electronic
surveying equipment to be used in or
inby the last open crosscut will be
examined by surveying personnel prior
to use to ensure the equipment is being
maintained in a safe operating
condition. These examinations will
include the following steps:
(i) Checking the instrument for any
physical damage and the integrity of the
case.
(ii) Removing the battery and
inspecting for corrosion.
(iii) Inspecting the contact points to
ensure a secure connection to the
battery.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR is for a three-year extension to
the OMB PRA approval for the Workforce Investment Act Management
Information and Reporting System with modifications to make Workforce
Investment Act (WIA) performance reporting completely compatible with
workforce investment streamlined performance reporting. This WIA
reporting structure includes quarterly (ETA 9090) and annual (ETA 9091)
reports, as well as a standardized individual record file for program
participants, called the Workforce Investment Act Standardized Record
Data (WIASRD). States submit WIASRD to the ETA and include participant
level information on customer demographics, type of services received,
and statutorily defined measures of outcomes. This ICR also covers
customer satisfaction surveys related to the program.
This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and
the public is generally not required to respond to an information
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection
under Control Number 1205-0420. The current approval is scheduled to
expire on December 31, 2012; however, it should be noted that existing
information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a
month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For additional
information, see the related notice published in the Federal Register
on September 26, 2012 (77 FR 59224).
Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB,
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in
the ADDRESSES section within 30 days of publication of this notice in
the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1205-0420.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
Minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
